The ethanol fuel is also known as ethyl alcohol, this alcohol can be found in many alcoholic beverages, but the proportions it is used in differ significantly.
As a fuel, ethanol is primarily used as a motor fuel but only as an additive along with gasoline, with a constant increase in its use over the years. At the same time, ethanol is a biomass fuel making it a renewable energy resource, meaning that it can thus be replaced or reproduced.
In simpler terms, ethanol is a fuel made from feedstocks like corn, sugarcane, and other plants and is generally used to power cars and other vehicles. Scientists have calculated that to generate the amount of energy generated by 1 volume of gasoline, one and a half times ethanol is required, making its gasoline gallon equivalency 1.5. The ethanol industry currently produces corn ethanol in two primary ways, the dry milling process and the wet milling process. These industries take around one bushel of corn as their input to produce around 3 gals (11.35 l) of ethanol. At the same time, when they produce ethanol, they also produce a co-product known as corn oil along with carbon dioxide. The biggest ethanol manufacturers are Bunge Ltd., Corn, LP, and Archer Daniels Midland Co. These companies transport the majority of their ethanol by trains or by trucks.
Ethanol is believed to be one of the most crucial biofuels in the years to come as it is one of those renewable fuels which grow in a relatively short period. With depleting fossil fuel reserves, electricity and biofuels like ethanol might be the future of vehicles. Let's now look at some amazing facts about this renewable energy source.
Ethanol is one of the most sustainable sources of renewable fuels and has multiple uses apart from being used only as a source of fuel or consumable alcohol. Ethanol is one of the most widely used organic chemicals in the world and is required for the production of both consumer products and certain industries for the production of other goods.
Among all alcohol fuels, ethanol is arguably the most commonly used type combined with gasoline. Compared to other fuel types, ethanol displays a range of advantages ranging from lower emissions to higher energy production.
Ethanol, also known as grain alcohol, is a chemical widely used as fuel for automobiles, the primary component in alcoholic beverages, and also has other uses in the healthcare industry. Let us look at some physical and chemical properties of ethanol.
